    You never draft one. You do sign guys though.

    speaking of Baez, on that earlier Kaplan/Haugh interview with Ricketts, it was noted that Kaplan wants the Cubs to sign Baez to a longterm extension now.

    Imagine the never ending media hand wringing over his tweets if he played in the NFL.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    mostly. Much moreso than it is about making sure he actually dominates AAA. Much more than Epstein himself lets on.
  5. jersey cubs fan
    Why does Baez need to prove himself at AAA? Is there something he specifically is not doing well yet, or is this just a Theo philosophy that all prospects need to dominate at that level? If it's the latter, that's pretty bizarre. There have been top prospects who skipped AAA and did just fine -- obviously. Yes, he has further developing to do. He needs to further develop his plate discipline and show that he can handle some craftier pitching (kind of hand in hand, for that matter). And I don't see what's bizarre about expecting your players to dominate every level of the minor leagues before being promoted. Certainly the results of Theo's systems can't really be argued with. Let's not pretend this isn't entirely about the money. They have to say that he needs to develop more because they cannot say how stupid it would be to call him up for opening day from a financial perspective.

    your boy parks said the same thing. probably put some weight on. i remember someone posting some shirtless pic from his instagram and commenting that he had some muscle on him. also remember that he's only 19. He's 19? How is that possible? I was thinking 21. He turns 20 in a month. He was drafted in 2012 at the age of 18.

    "We've never been anything but direct about our direction." This simply is not true.

    Talking about Dominican facility. Ricketts talking about how CBA changed rules and how they think the facility will be the difference with contract offers being very similar.

    if that goes on forever we do have to work on other locations (said dismissively) but we aren't treating wrigley just like any other stadium. We've handled it by being respectful of what Wrigley is.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Kaplan why don't you threaten to move? "Like I said on first day of spring training, we don't want to treat Wrigley just like any other park that does not have value to the fans. Others are just parking lots in the suburbs." "we're moving forward"
  14. jersey cubs fan
    talking wrigley, where does it stand? "Right now we continue to keep talking, looking for something that works for everybody goal is to get something to gets us to move forward with the least amount of incremental drama. Right now we are just trying to work it out."
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Kaplan: "How do you handle the pitchfork and torches crowd." Ricketts "You manage your roster to have a short turd, short-term, success."
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Haugh asking a question that Ricketts cannot ask honestly: "Why is it important for Baez, regardless of having a great spring, to go to AAA." He also mentioned "the clock". Tom just said Theo and Jed decide those things.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    "We'll be fine, we'll have a good summer."

    Half of his moves seem to be about trying to find a way to stay above the cap floor.
